I woke up this morning with a very large painful lump on top of my right shoulder, I didn't know if it was a bone sticking out or what it was. I first rang my local hospital to make an appointment, thinking it would require an Xray. They told me I had to contact my doctor first.
So, I phoned my surgery and they said they would get a doctor to ring me. Thankfully when he phoned and asked how big it was, to which I said “Smaller than a parrot, but bigger than a budgie”, I was joking. I was given an appointment at my brand-new surgery building which was also part of a multi-storey car park. Are you getting bored yet, keep going.
I hadn't been to this place before, but from a special entrance on the car park roof you had to use a lift to get to various levels and different departments. Nurses, Doctors, Treatments etc. Needless to say, I ended up at different levels until finally reaching the doctor’s level.
After booking in, and logging in my car numberplate so you don't pay for the car park, I sat down to wait right opposite a couple of doors with these signs on. Now I wouldn't say I was bored, but I'm sure I saw a lady go in with a baby, then come out with a completely different one. Brilliant idea I thought, get fed-up with one baby and exchange it for another, well that’s what the sign indicated.
I wondered If there were shelves with various babies on them, pink for the girls and blue for the boys. I glanced inside and there was nothing but a table and toilet cubicles, I think I was just having silly thoughts. Oh, and the doctor gave me a prescription for antibiotics for a large cyst.
You made me smile as you always do Lady M. There were times when my children were small when I would have happily made use of this facility ha ha. (not really).
Love the narrative and the photo. I first saw one of these baby change signs when we moved to Nelson Bay 27 years ago. By that time my daughter was 23 years old so I think I left it a bit late to change her.
